We'll admit it, of all the April Fool's stories that emerged at the crack of dawn yesterday, Silverstone's diversion was the clear winner.
On the only day of the year when 'fake news' is legitimate, a flurry of F1 write-ups took the internet by storm, most of them predictable like 'Lewis Hamilton retiring with immediate effect', or 'Rosberg returns to Mercedes'.
We concocted our only little joke, releasing a story about McLaren being bought out by Fiat-Chrysler and receiving Alfa Romeo power in 2018!
But Silverstone's antics took first prize hands down with a story about the venerable circuit reversing the way of the British GP, with drivers racing next summer in an anti-clockwise direction!
Silverstone put out a well-produced video with Jolyon Palmer, David Coulthard and Williams Rob Smedley all chiming in on difficulties of the new challenge.
A great April Fool's effort by the BRDC. Check out the video below in case you didn't catch it yesterday.
